Default Another country TF2

Hi, nice to meet you all
I'm a RC noob from Indonesia so first of all sorry for my poor english

Just received my TF2 and my pitbull droped the box from the couch


ThankGod nothing broke inside

a bit confused with so many screw in the box

try to be different so I tried to cut for sun roof. Just keep my finger cross coz this is point of no return



Primer time


Final result


Trying to make door trim but too difficult to make a perfect measurement so I just cut the styrene square.


Bought some hinges for my sun roof from ebay coz it's hard to find in my country


and here is after have been attach to the frame




Because proline accesories to expensive here so I tried to make some with noob styrene skillzzzz
There's a GPS which is still to big so it's kinda like mini iPad if I put on the dash






currently running with :
axial AE-2 ESC
wraith 20T motor
3s Battery

I haven't put BEC yet coz in Indonesia they only sell 5v BEC. Planning to buy CC BEC from ebay soon
But so far no problem came up using that setting.

Nice idea with the sunroof, did you tint the glass with Tamiya smoke ? Or did you cut it from a Tamiya window ? And is there a mod on the grille, or is that just a reflection ? Looking forward to your next pics...

The sunroof is pretty cool and sets your apart for the pack of other tf2s out there

I use some waste lexan from the TF2 window and painted it with tamiya TS-71 smoke. And yes I moded the grille. I'll post a picture soon.

Very nice rig. The more I look at TrailFinders, the more I want one! And I can barely afford my wraith

Finally I can update :

after thinking I finally take a box of ice cream and cut it to make inner fender


hmmm....what next? make a trailer
Here's the complete build of my trailer wannabe : Trailer


And still my hand kinda itchy from looking at the interior
So
lets make up the interior



a good trucks always need a key



and also this....
a key chain with written toyota on it. First plan to make small toyota logo from styrene but my eyes already sore from making this so.......just wrote it on then LOL


next is

Some gauges, brake and gas pedal.
